[[meta title="GnuTLS 2.6.x enables Monkeysphere to read authentication subkeys"]]

We announced earlier that the Monkeysphere project was providing patched versions of GnuTLS to support one piece of Monkeysphere functionality. Fortunately, those patches are no longer needed, because as of version 2.6, GnuTLS contains the necessary functionality natively.

Therefore, our project will no longer provide patched copies of GnuTLS, though we will continue to keep the patch alive in in our git repository until GnuTLS 2.6 has been more widely adopted.

If you were pulling patched versions of GnuTLS 2.4 from the Monkeysphere archive, you may prefer to pull GnuTLS 2.6 from debian's experimental archive (at least until it GnuTLS 2.6 drops into unstable, which should happen shortly after the release of lenny.
